How to Replace BROWSEUI.DLL


1. Open your Web browser and navigate to a site that offers free downloads of common .dll files. You can find a link to the browseui.dll download page of a reliable .dll download site in the Resources section below. There are several other sites that offer common .dll files for free downloading as well.
2. Click the download link and follow the on-screen prompts. When prompted, click the 'Save File' button to save the file to your hard drive.
3. Double-click the downloaded file, which will open in the program your computer uses to open .zip files. Click the 'Extract' or 'Unzip' button in this window and extract the files to your computer's desktop.
4. Open your computer's Windows system folder. To do this, double-click the 'My Computer' icon and navigate to the folder location for your version of Windows. If you use Windows XP or Vista on a 32-bit system, go to 'C:\Windows\System32.' If you use Windows XP or Vista on a 64-bit system, go to 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64.' If you use Windows 2000 or NT, go to 'C:\WINNT\System32.' Finally, if you use Windows 95, 98 or ME, go to 'C:\Windows\System.'
5. Click and drag the browseui.dll file you extracted to your desktop into the system folder. If a version of this file already exists in the folder, you will see a dialog box asking you if you would like to replace the existing file with the new file. Click the 'Yes' button if you see this message; if you've been seeing browseui.dll errors or having user interface problems with Internet Explorer, it's likely because this existing version has been corrupted.
6. Reboot your computer. Windows will immediately recognize the new .dll file upon boot-up. You won't see a special notification that Windows has recognized the new file, but your Internet Explorer interface should function properly.
